The School of History, Philosophy, and Religion provides students with a richly connected series of lenses though which they can examine the universe and their place in it. Our students learn to research, analyze, and contextualize the changing roles of religion, science, politics, and thought in both ancient and modern cultures. They also develop ethical, moral reasoning, and critical thinking skills in the service of an engaged life. Religious Studies at OSU is an inter-disciplinary field that
combines history, philosophy, anthropology, ethics, textual analysis, art, literature and film to examine the ways that humans have described and acted in response to that which they have called divine, both in civilizations long past and among peoples and nations around the world in the present moment.
